A dull or chipped tub in Studio City does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.
Fixing up your old worn out tub right now saves you thousands over buying new stuff. You get a super fresh looking bathroom fast without all the crazy mess of a huge demo job!
Actually ripping out an old heavy porcelain tub will straight up ruin your week. Heavy power tools bring tons of noise and fly dust everywhere inside your home. Besides that, you gotta pay huge bucks just to haul away the crushed garbage heavy debris...
Instead of throwing your hard earned money down the drain, restoring the smooth top layer makes total sense. Naturally, our process coats over all those embarrassing yellow stains and scratch marks seamlessly. You end up with a high shine finish that looks completely brand new!
Furthermore, the whole project usually takes less than one single workday to finish up completely. Which means you can get right back to taking long relaxing hot soaks almost immediately. On top of that, your wallet stays pretty happy since you dodge massive plumbing contractor bills!
First off, we got to scrub away years of built up soap scum and disgusting hidden grime. Honestly, if the surface isn't totally clean, the fresh sticky layers just won't grip right at all. So we use special strong heavy industrial cleaner mixtures to prep the area properly.
Next, fixing up tiny chips or deep ugly cracks comes up right after the deep clean step. After that, we apply a special liquid bonding agent that locks down tight onto old porcelain or fiberglass... This crucial step makes sure your fresh smooth bright coat will never start peeling off later down the line!
Lastly, spraying on multiple thin coats of top notch acrylic resin finish wraps up the dirty work. So this leaves you with a deep rock hard shine that totally resists tough water stains. Then, you just sit back and watch your gross old bathroom transform into a luxury space!
Basically, modern synthetic resin coats act like an indestructible shielding armor for your soaking spot. Earlier back in the day, old formulas used to turn gross faded yellow after just a couple years of light use... Today high grade aliphatic acrylic polyurethane keeps its bright pure icy white color permanently!
Additionally, this specialized liquid mixture cures super hard through an intense fast chemical bonding reaction. Consequently, it seals off porous microscopic holes where gross mold spores usually love to hide and grow fast. Cleaning your tub becomes as easy as giving it a quick soft wipe down!
Clearly, looking at real hard numbers helps you make the smartest choice for your lovely home budget. Therefore, we put together a simple quick breakdown comparing a total full demolition trade job against our special surface restoration fix...
| Service Type | Average Cost Range | Time To Complete | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Bath Replacement | High Thousands | 1 To 2 Weeks | Extreme Dust And Noise |
| Specialized Surface Renewal | Very Affordable | 4 To 6 Hours | Minimal Clean Setup |
Obviously, saving a massive pile of money while getting top tier results feels like a total huge win. Otherwise, you end up stuck waiting endlessly for slow pushy construction crews to finally finish tearing up your floorboards!
Living down near lush green hills close to busy film production lots means homes here have serious character. For instance, many gorgeous mid-century modern properties around the 91604 or 91614 area codes hold cool vintage colored soaking tubs... Throwing those durable thick cast iron antiques straight into a dirty landfill is an absolute tragedy!
Right now, around 34,034 people live together inside this famous sunny Southern California community. With a healthy local median household income sitting around high double digits up near six figures, folks know smart value when they see it... Preserving vintage charm while updating to a pristine shiny modern look is the ultimate smart move!
Also, local municipal water supplies down in Los Angeles County carry plenty of dissolved minerals that wear down slick finishes fast. Fortunately, our special thick modern protective glaze handles heavy mineral deposits way better than ancient worn out original factory finishes. You keep that gorgeous showroom reflection glowing without spending your whole weekend obsessively scrubbing down tough mineral scale!
Now, deep orange rust spots around old leaky drain rings can look totally hopeless at first glance. However, grinding away that nasty corroded metal down to raw solid material stops the nasty decay right in its tracks! We then apply high grade rust inhibiting primer coats before adding any shiny slick top coats...
Similarly, spiderweb hair crack lines running across old flexible fiberglass units need serious expert structural reinforcement. Because if you just paint straight over a weak flexing floor bottom, it will just snap right open again real quick! We rebuild weak bottom floors using heavy duty structural fiberglass mesh layers first...
Consequently, your repaired bottom floor feels solid as a rock under your feet when taking quick morning showers. What's more, you won't hear those creepy squeaking noises every single time you step inside to wash up. Everything ends up totally solid, slick, and completely leak proof!
Honestly, those cheap cheap store bought paint kits you buy at big box discount stores are total garbage. Suddenly, you apply it on a rainy afternoon, and three weeks later the rubbery paint starts peeling off in huge gross strips... It ends up looking way worse than when you first started!
Besides, standard consumer kits lack professional strength etch acids and heavy duty spray equipment setup needed for smooth flat coats. On top of that, breathing in those nasty thick fumes without expensive professional grade ventilator gear is super dangerous for your lungs. Hiring a trained expert team saves you from massive headaches and nasty chemical burns!
Granted, taking proper gentle care of your newly finished slick glossy coat extends its lifespan by decades. For example, staying far away from nasty abrasive bleach powder scrub powders is absolute rule number one... Those sharp scratchy crystals cut tiny invisible grooves into the glossy shield and ruin the shine real fast!
Instead, grabbing a soft squishy sponge along with simple mild liquid dish soaps works completely great every time. Likewise, wiping down wet walls after a warm bath stops mineral film build up dead in its track... You save tons of physical energy while keeping your wash space look completely luxurious!
Surely, avoiding heavy suction bath mats with hard plastic bottom nubs protects the fresh top coat from tearing up over time. Instead, placing a nice soft plush floor rug right outside on the tile floor keeps you totally safe from slipping. Following these tiny easy steps keeps your shiny coating looking totally stunning for years and years!

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around Studio City, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
